Industrial Design

Hello, I'm Çınar Gülez. I am a 1st year student at Ostim Technical University, Department of Industrial Design. Industrial design is the review of products with functionality and aesthetic concerns and it presents them to the user experience. Industrial designers are experts who take an active role in the design, management and production processes of products and systems. In the curriculum of our department, there are many design-based courses aimed at developing three-dimensional thinking and creativity. In addition, as a requirement of contemporary design, computer aided design programs are offered to us with different softwares for 4 semesters. In order to get to know different sectors, courses such as Packaging Design, Vehicle Design, Web Design are also available in our program. In addition to these, our school offers entrance to university life, building the future and entrepreneurship courses in order to provide us with entrepreneurial qualities. Due to the intensity of applied courses in our department, we have drawing workshops, computer labs and model workshops in our school. In our school, our workplace training course is included in the curriculum from the first grade till the graduation. The aim of these courses is to get to know the profession and the sector closely and to gain insight and application skills in the business environment. In the last semester, we will be able to develop our graduation project at the place where we will do our internship. Graduates of our department can work in many areas of the industry as industrial designers. For example, they can work in furniture, lighting, durable consumer goods, medical and automotive sectors. In addition, graduates can work as product, system and experience designers. One of the biggest factors in choosing the Industrial Design Department is my interest in product design and development. As a new generation university, our university offers us the opportunity for hands-on education. This was one of the reasons why I put Ostim Technical University in the first place when I made my choice last year. I think that the opportunities and work experiences that my university has provided throughout my education life will contribute greatly to my future. I think that the opportunities and work experiences offered by our university throughout my education life will play a big role in my future. After becoming an experienced industrial designer, I want to take part in the production and development phases of projects that will contribute to my country. Students who will choose our department should research this profession and its possibilities well. I think it will be beneficial for students to consider the internship trainings that our school provides since the first grade. I wish success to all students in their exams. We welcome students who want to choose Ostim Technical University and the Department of Industrial Design.
